Front Anti Roll Bar Bushes - Which Ford?

[ukkid35]

Front Anti Roll Bar Bushes #1632605 are now being quoted at £10 + Vat EACH from Ford. Can anyone tell me which Ford they are for because my local factors can’t find it from the Ford part number.

Just found this on a german site for you:
Escort/Orion 1981-1986

Although Ford were happy to give me a price, when I tried to order I was told they were NLA. I've also tried GSF and EuroCarParts with no luck.

Has anyone succeeded in sourcing these bushes?

Ironically I have eight packs of unfitted Powerflex bushes for the Cerb, but not the one for the ARB.

Since I couldn't find anyone who would sell me a MK3 Escort bush, I bought a MK4 Escort bush instead and sanded off the offending pyramid. Before and after pics:

should have gone with the poly, saved you time in the future as you shouldn't have to touch them again.

The bush doesn't fit at all. I give up on the rubber ones now, I will get a pair of poly bushes.
